Job completed for Plaisnate- Water Damage- Baton Rouge, LA

Completion date: May 28, 2025

Location: Baton Rouge, LA

Why did the customer contact us?

United Fire & Water responded to a water damage emergency in Baton Rouge, LA, where a customer reported wet walls and floors caused by a suspected leaking shower pan. Our mitigation team quickly set containment in the adjacent closet to isolate the affected area and prevent cross-contamination. We deployed air purification equipment and a commercial-grade dehumidifier to stabilize the environment and begin the drying process.

Solutions provided:

Once containment was established, we removed affected baseboards and sheetrock in the closet to expose the moisture-damaged materials. During the demolition phase, it became clear that additional investigation was needed to confirm the source of the leak. While the signs pointed to the shower pan, we advised that the leak must be definitively confirmed before proceeding with a full shower demolition. All mitigation was performed in accordance with IICRC standards to ensure a safe and thorough dry-out.

As part of our proposed scope in Baton Rouge, LA, United Fire & Water included containment and tear-out of the shower itself, including detaching the shower door and removing all existing shower materials. It is important to note that once demolition begins, a complete shower rebuild will be necessary to guarantee proper waterproofing, though the cost of the rebuild is not included in this initial estimate. We remain committed to providing transparent, high-quality water damage restoration services throughout Baton Rouge and the surrounding areas.
